Relativistic Time Distortion and Mechanical Effects: A Unified Perspective on Observed Clock Errors.

Soumendra Nath Thakur

December 03, 2024

The measurement of change inherently signifies the measurement of relative change in a physical event. When events involve time, the relevance lies in the event's change itself and not in the observer, as the observer does not partake in the physical transformation occurring within the event.

At the onset of the measurement, two synchronized clocks—one belonging to the observer and the other to the observed—are calibrated to the same time scale, with both initially positioned within the same reference frame. When the event begins at time t₀, the observed entity separates from the observer, undergoes acceleration, and reaches a specified velocity. Once the event concludes, the observed entity re-joins the reference frame of the observer, and the elapsed time is immediately measured within this unified reference frame.

In this process, the time dimension originates from and returns to a common point for both clocks. However, the elapsed time on the observer's reference clock (t - t₀) is greater than that on the observed clock (t′−t₀), such that t - t₀ > t′−t₀ or equivalently, t<t′. This indicates that the time scale of the observer's clock (t) has effectively increased to the time scale of the observed clock (t′). The difference, Δt = t′−t, reflects this shift, giving the relation t+Δt = t′.

When expressed in angular terms, the scale of the observer’s reference clock is t×360°, while the scale of the observed clock is t′×360°. Since t×360° < t′×360°, the observer's clock cannot accommodate the larger time scale of the observed clock. Consequently, an apparent error arises in the observed clock’s time reading.

Conclusion:

The discrepancy in the observed clock’s time reading is a clear manifestation of time dilation, a relativistic effect arising from the relative motion and differing inertial frames between the observer and the observed. This time distortion, while often treated as unique to relativity, shares conceptual parallels with measurable and predictable errors in clock mechanisms caused by external influences such as temperature fluctuations, mechanical stress, or material deformation. Classical mechanics, through frameworks like Hooke's law, adeptly describe mechanical deformations resulting from external forces, offering a well-established basis for understanding such errors.

However, the relativistic approach to time dilation does not comprehensively account for the forces applied during acceleration when the observed entity separates from the observer, undergoes acceleration, and achieves a specified velocity before re-joining the observer’s reference frame. In these scenarios, the application of force introduces mechanical and energetic interactions that are not flatly addressed in relativistic formulations. This oversight leaves a gap in fully describing the interplay between mechanical effects and relativistic time distortion, suggesting that the errors observed in clock time readings under such conditions might be more broadly understood by integrating principles from both classical mechanics and relativity.

Ultimately, this perspective reframes time distortion not as an isolated phenomenon of relativity but as part of a continuum of physical influences, with classical mechanics providing vital tools for quantifying and contextualizing its effects.

Electron’s Matter-to-Antimatter Transition: A Framework of Extended Classical Mechanics.

Soumendra Nath Thakur

December 02, 2024

Abstract:

This study explores the dynamics of an electron transitioning from matter to antimatter-like behaviour within the framework of extended classical mechanics. As the electron accelerates toward the speed of light, its matter mass (Mᴍ) diminishes, and negative apparent mass (− Mᵃᵖᵖ) becomes dominant, leading to a shift from gravitational attraction to antigravitational effects. The resulting structural implications suggest a breakdown of the electron's traditional matter form, transitioning it into a state governed by negative effective mass. These findings provide critical insights into the interplay of matter mass, apparent mass, and the forces acting in extreme conditions.

Dynamics of Negative Apparent Mass and the Matter-to-Antimatter Transition

In the context of extended classical mechanics, an important aspect of negative apparent mass (−Mᵃᵖᵖ) and how it interacts with positive matter mass (Mᴍ) as the electron accelerates, particularly when approaching high velocities. To reflect this, we need to focus on the dynamics between the electron’s matter mass and apparent mass, and how these interplay as the electron approaches the speed of light, eventually making the matter mass negligible and the apparent mass dominant. This leads to the effective mass transitioning toward negative values, which could imply a shift from gravitational attraction to antigravitational effects.

Structural Implications of Negative Apparent Mass:

As the negative apparent mass −Mᵃᵖᵖ becomes dominant, it exerts an increasing pressure on the positive matter mass of the electron, which can cause the structural integrity of the electron to be compromised.

The pressure exerted by the negative apparent mass could overwhelm the electron's normal structure, potentially leading to its disintegration or transformation into a state where the traditional concept of "matter" no longer applies in the usual sense.

The key insight here is that as the electron accelerates to high speeds, its matter mass Mᴍ becomes negligible, and the negative apparent mass −Mᵃᵖᵖ becomes dominant.

This transition leads to the effective mass becoming negative, which shifts the electron’s behaviour from gravitational attraction to antigravity.

As the kinetic energy increases, it is no longer just a result of the matter mass, but instead is primarily driven by the negative apparent mass, which could result in the electron reaching speeds near c and transitioning to a state where its structural integrity is challenged by the forces acting on it.

Electron Transition from Matter to Antimatter:

Transition from Matter to Antimatter:

As the electron's velocity increases toward the speed of light, the negative apparent mass (−Mᵃᵖᵖ) becomes dominant, reducing the effective mass (Mᵉᶠᶠ).

When the velocity approaches c, the matter mass (Mᴍ) effectively becomes negligible compared to the negative apparent mass. In this state, the electron could experience antigravitational effects as a result of its negative effective mass.

This leads to the electron being subjected to forces that no longer attract it to gravitational sources, but instead, these forces would push it away from those sources. This is an antigravity effect.

Structural Integrity and Breakdown:

The most critical point is that, as the negative apparent mass grows, it exerts a counteracting pressure on the structure of the electron.

This pressure is not simply a force acting against gravitational attraction; it is a fundamental change in the dynamics of the electron's existence, transitioning it from matter to something that could potentially behave like antimatter under the extreme conditions.

Gravitational Bound Systems:

In any gravitationally bound system (such as a galaxy), as an object’s speed increases and it approaches c, it becomes increasingly difficult for the object to maintain its matter mass structure.

At the limiting point, when negative apparent mass dominates, the matter mass of the electron would no longer be able to counteract the pressure from the negative apparent mass, leading to the breakdown of its structural integrity.

Thus, the electron would no longer behave as conventional matter; its behaviour would be governed by its negative effective mass, and its structure could potentially collapse or dissipate under these extreme conditions. This breakdown explains why no matter can survive as matter within a gravitationally bound system at light's speeds, where negative apparent mass takes over and results in antigravity.

In essence, the application of force to accelerate matter to light's speeds in a gravitationally bound system results in a transition from a gravitationally attractive state to a repulsive, antigravitational state governed by negative effective mass.

Conclusion:

The framework of extended classical mechanics provides a novel lens to understand the transition of an electron from matter-like behaviour to an antimatter-like state. As the electron accelerates toward the speed of light, its positive matter mass (Mᴍ) diminishes, and the negative apparent mass (−Mᵃᵖᵖ) becomes dominant. This transition redefines its effective mass (Mᵉᶠᶠ), leading to a shift from gravitational attraction to antigravitational effects. The interplay of these mass components, under extreme conditions, challenges the structural integrity of the electron, potentially transforming it beyond the traditional concept of matter. These findings elucidate a critical mechanism by which matter, under intense forces and velocities, could evolve into a state exhibiting antimatter-like properties, driven by the dominance of negative effective mass.

Description of Mathematical Terms:

Time error is incorrectly represented as time dilation:

Subject: Clarifying Oscillation, Clock Rate, and Time Dilation Misconceptions

Dear Mr. Phillips,

I appreciate your engagement with my work, Extended Classical Mechanics: Vol-1 - Equivalence Principle, Mass and Gravitational Dynamics. However, your comments introduce conceptual inaccuracies and misinterpretations that require clarification. Allow me to address your points systematically:

1. Oscillation Is Not Synonymous with Clock Rate

Your reference to “oscillation” as “matter’s clock rate” is an arbitrary and non-standard description. While oscillations can indeed describe periodic motion, not all oscillations qualify as clock oscillations.

Standardized Clock Oscillations:

A clock oscillation is carefully engineered to maintain regular periodicity under specific conditions. Standardized clocks are designed to represent time accurately on a 360∘ time scale, specific to a particular location and environmental conditions.

External Influences and Error:

Deviation from standardized oscillation due to influences such as gravitational potential, temperature, or speed results in an error in time measurement, not a universal effect such as time dilation.

2. Misconception About Oscillation in Gravitational Fields

You stated: “Oscillation has been proven to be slower in regions nearer to a gravitational mass.”

This is incorrect. In fact:

Faster Oscillation Closer to a Gravitational Mass:

Clocks nearer to a gravitational well experience stronger gravitational influences, which increase the oscillator’s mechanical deformation and can result in faster oscillations. However, lower gravitational potential energy causes deviations from proper time, which are observed as errors in time measurement, not genuine time dilation.

Not Time Dilation, but Error in Time:

Proper time (t) on a 360∘ scale is defined within the framework of standardized clocks. The concept of time dilation (t′), as postulated by special relativity, stipulates t′>t. Since t′ exceeds the 360∘ scale of proper time, any deviation observed within a clock mechanism arises from errors induced by external influences, not a physical dilation of time itself.

3. Understanding Time Error Through Mechanical Deformation

External forces affecting a clock mechanism, such as gravitational potential differences, cause mechanical deformation in oscillatory components, like piezoelectric oscillators. This phenomenon can be explained using classical mechanics, specifically Hooke’s law. Such errors are well-documented and differ fundamentally from the relativistic interpretation of time dilation.

4. Special Relativity Misinterprets Errors as Time Dilation

The concept of time dilation in special relativity is invalidated when the phase shift in oscillatory frequencies is rigorously analysed. As outlined in my research, Relativistic Effects on Phase Shift in Frequencies Invalidate Time Dilation, the relativistic claim conflates mechanical errors with a universal effect on time itself.

I invite you to consult this research for a detailed analysis:

Relativistic Effects on Phase Shift in Frequencies Invalidate Time Dilation

5. Addressing Future Comments

I encourage you to refer to the above research and my arguments before making further comments related to time dilation. A clear understanding of these concepts will help you engage meaningfully with the objectives of my work.

In Summary:

Oscillation and clock rate are not universally interchangeable terms.

Errors in time readings arise from external influences, not a fundamental dilation of time.

Relativity’s time dilation misrepresents localized mechanical errors as universal phenomena.

I hope this clarifies your misconceptions. I remain open to productive discussions that align with the research's scope and objectives.

Electromagnetic Wave: Constant Effective Acceleration and Antigravitational Force

Soumendra Nath Thakur

ORCiD:0000-0003-1871-7803

November 30,2024

Abstract

This study presents the determination of the constant effective acceleration (aᵉᶠᶠ) and the associated force (Fₚₕₒₜₒₙ) experienced by electromagnetic waves, specifically photons, within the framework of Extended Classical Mechanics. The photon’s motion is analysed based on the distance travelled in one second, under the assumption of constant acceleration. The analysis reveals a constant effective acceleration of 6 × 10⁸ m/s², producing a negative effective force due to the negative apparent mass (Mᵃᵖᵖ) of the photon, exhibiting an antigravitational effect. This elucidates the interaction dynamics of photons in gravitational fields.

Keywords: Constant effective acceleration, antigravitational force, photons, Extended Classical Mechanics, apparent mass, electromagnetic waves.

Elucidation

Determination of Constant Effective Acceleration

The motion of photons is described using the equation for constant acceleration:

Δd = v₀Δt + (1/2)aᵉᶠᶠ(Δt)²

Where:

• Δd = Distance travelled by the photon (3 × 10⁸ m), 
• v₀ = Initial velocity (0m/s at emission),
• Δt = Time interval (1 s),
• aᵉᶠᶠ = Effective acceleration to be determined.

Substituting the values:

3 × 10⁸ m = 0·1 s + (1/2)aᵉᶠᶠ(1)²

Solving for aᵉᶠᶠ:

aᵉᶠᶠ =  6 × 10⁸ m/s²

Effective Force Acting on Photons

The force experienced by photons arises from their effective mass (Mᵉᶠᶠ = −Mᵃᵖᵖ) and is given by:

Fₚₕₒₜₒₙ = −Mᵃᵖᵖ·aᵉᶠᶠ 

Using the Extended Classical Mechanics force equation, F = (Mᴍ −Mᵃᵖᵖ)·aᵉᶠᶠ = Mᵉᶠᶠ·aᵉᶠᶠ, the terms simplify for photons, as the matter mass Mᴍ = 0,  and velocity v=c:

Fₚₕₒₜₒₙ = −Mᵉᶠᶠ·aᵉᶠᶠ

 

Antigravitational Implications

The negative apparent mass (Mᵃᵖᵖ) results in a negative force, implying an antigravitational interaction. This force opposes the gravitational attraction and contributes to the constant speed of photons, consistent with their behaviour in gravitational fields.

Conclusion

Within the framework of Extended Classical Mechanics, the interaction of electromagnetic waves, such as photons, with gravitational fields reveals:

1. A constant effective acceleration aᵉᶠᶠ = 6 × 10⁸ m/s²

2. A negative force Fₚₕₒₜₒₙ = −Mᵉᶠᶠ·aᵉᶠᶠ, signifying an antigravitational effect.

This antigravitational force is a direct consequence of the negative apparent mass of photons, offering a deeper understanding of their motion and interaction in gravitational environments.

Revisiting De Broglie’s Pilot Wave Theory: Mass, Force Dynamics, and the Wave Behaviour of Particles.

Soumendra Nath Thakur

November 29, 2024

Louis de Broglie famously proposed that the movement of matter particles, such as electrons and atoms, is guided by a "quantum wave," thereby explaining their observed wave-like behaviour. However, this interpretation presents significant challenges, particularly when distinguishing between subatomic particles with mass and those that are massless.

On the one hand, subatomic particles like electrons possess a nonzero rest mass (mₑ = 9.1093837 × 10⁻³¹ kg), representing an invariant and intrinsic property. Conversely, massless particles such as photons have a rest mass of m₀ = 0. This fundamental difference has profound implications for their respective dynamics under the framework of extended classical mechanics:

1. For electrons (rest mass >0):

The force equation under extended classical mechanics is given by:

F = (Mᴍ −Mᵃᵖᵖ)·aᵉᶠᶠ 

where Mᴍ = mₑ is the rest mass, Mᵃᵖᵖ is the apparent mass, and Mᵉᶠᶠ = (Mᴍ −Mᵃᵖᵖ) is the effective mass. For electrons, Mᵉᶠᶠ>0, leading to a positive force aligned with the external gravitational force, ensuring their motion follows the classical gravitational influence.

2. For photons (rest mass =0):

The force equation simplifies to:

F = −Mᵉᶠᶠ·aᵉᶠᶠ, 

since Mᴍ = 0 and Mᵉᶠᶠ = −Mᵃᵖᵖ. Here, Mᵉᶠᶠ <0, resulting in a negative force that opposes the direction of the external gravitational force.

Conclusion:

Equations (1) and (2) highlight that the behaviour of subatomic particles is intrinsically tied to their rest mass. For particles like electrons or atoms (rest mass >0), their motion is governed by a positive force in alignment with gravitational attraction. In contrast, massless particles like photons (rest mass =0) are governed by a negative force, which counteracts gravitational pull and points in the opposite direction.

The effective mass for particles with rest mass >0 (e.g., electrons) remains positive, while for massless particles like photons, the effective mass is negative. This difference in force dynamics undermines the notion that matter particles such as electrons or atoms can be accurately described by a "quantum wave." Their positive gravitationally bound force does not account for their wave-like behaviour. Conversely, photons, governed by an antigravitational negative force, are intrinsically linked to "quantum waves," which fully explains their wave-particle duality.

This analysis reveals a fundamental limitation in De Broglie's pilot wave theory. While it successfully explains the dynamics of photons, its application to massive particles like electrons or atoms may not adequately capture their behaviour, challenging the universality of his quantum wave framework.
